THE ASSAULT FAILS.
Saws the San Francisco Call.


An irregularity in the office of the State
Printer. by which the school-book fund was de-
pleted for the benefit of another, has called out
a controversy which is of inestimable advantage
TO the state book-printins system. The circum-
stances of an irregularity in that particular of
ice has no logical connection with the project
of printing school-books by the State. The Gus
todian of fund has no right to transfer it, but
because he does so is no reason why the State
should abolish his department.
Our contemporary is right Had we not
deemed the controversy of inestimable
advantage to the State school-book svs-
tenn" it would not have been continued. so
far as the REcoRD-UNIoN is concerned,
which opened it. We have believed it to
he an educator of the public thought upon
the State school-book scheme, and believ-
ing that scheme wise, worthy of promo
ton and perfectly able to bear and resist
all manner of assault and criticism, the
assailants of it have been led on to exhaust
their fire now. As a result, they have
committed themselves to the most outrage
ous abs1rditicS, have mired in a slough of
false statistics, and are to-day in limp,
defensive and bedraggled condition. In
truth, the State school-book system is
stronger, better and more surely anchored
in the confidence of the people to-day than
ever before. Referring to the assaults of
the San Francisco Chronicle upon the sys-
TEN, and upon the State Printing Office
management, the Gil well says:
If the Chronicle were ostensibly making fight
against the ex-State Printer or the present State
Printer there would be some force in the argu-
ment, but as this opposition 10 the Office is really
intended TO convince the people that the State
cannot print school-books and furnish them to
pupils on better terms than private publishers
have offered without running the State Office at
public expense, the circumstances of Irregular
ties in the Office rather tells in favor of the State
plan than against it. If such results as have
been obtained can be attained by an inefficient
management what may not the people expect
when the affairs of the Office are in thoroughly
competent hands? In point of fact, if the plant
had to be paid for each tour years, and the cost
added pro rata to the price of books, it would
be better to have State books than to be subject
to the rapacity of private firms.
